Experience. Leadership. Solutions.

From a handful of cities participating in a pilot project in the early 1990s to more than 500 local governments, ICLEI USA’s member network continues to lead a national movement towards advancing climate protection and sustainability. They bring unprecedented experience, leadership, and ability to create solutions to a global problem.
